To put our faith in a nutshell runs the risk of oversimplifying it - but in essence that is what a creed is. These are the basics of what we believe, this is expressed in the ‘kerygma’ of the New Testament.
|
n
|
God the Father loves us
|
|
n
|
because of that love He sent His Son into the world;
|
|
n
|
Jesus lived amongst us and died on the cross for our sins,
|
|
n
|
but He rose from the dead that we might have eternal life;
|
|
n
|
the Holy Spirit is given to those who believe this
|
|
n
|
and binds us to one another and unites us to God.
|
We need to accept and believe these truths as the foundation of our faith before we can explore it further. All of the above is summed up in the phrase:
Jesus Christ Is Lord!
